You feature on YouTube’s Comedy Week. Is this a sign of change?The change has been about taking fatter people to smaller screens. That’s what my channel, Being Cyrus, is all about on YouTube Comedy Week. And it’s a sign of money. People at YouTube have promised me that soon. The reach will wipe out all other media. And the money could become obscene. Although they did add that this could take anywhere between two and 327 years.

What exotic pet would you like to keep in your house?A silverback gorilla.

One week of your life you wish that wasn’t.When I was stuck in Chennai at the time of the tsunami in 2004. That and also the first week of my marriage.
